message 58: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) It was really good, actually! It wasn't exactly what I had expected but now I'm really excited to read Catching Fire when it comes out!! :)


message 59: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) Same here, once I'd read what it was about I wasn't sure I'd like it, but once I started to read it I got really into the story and the characters. :)


message 60: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) haha, yeah. I was totally surprised by the ending though.

**spoilers**

like, how at the end when Peeta and Katniss were talking and Peeta was beginning to realize that for Katniss the whole lovey-dovey thing was just an act for the Capitol/Gamemakers. I was like, aww:(, cause I think that he really likes her.. :)


message 61: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) yeah, i think so too! I felt bad for him cause idk, I just did.. Katniss doesn't seem to realize how much he really cares.


message 62: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) I hope so! I can't wait until Catching Fire comes out cause I really want to know what happens next! :)


message 63: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) lol (:


message 64: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) Uhh, I have no idea when it's supposed to be out over here.. oh, it apparently came out Tuesday just passed.

Kat (acharb11ymailcom) | 70 comments Has anyone read Catching Fire yet?


message 67: by Courtney (new)

Courtney NO!!!!!!!!!! Have you?????????


message 68: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) Yeah, really!!! Kat, have you read Catching Fire yet?!


message 69: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Mackenzie have you? I KNOW I'm getting it for my birthday (which is tomorrow) because when I told someone that it was on the top of my list for gifts, my mom told me not to tell people that. I think she's implying that she bought it for me alreaady.


message 70: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) No I haven't, and I probably won't for quite a while :(. Happy belated birthday Katie!! :)


message 71: by Courtney (new)

message 72: by Courtney (new)

Courtney I GOT CATCHING FIRE FOR MY BIRTHDAY! (WHICH IS TODAY)! I'LL STAY UP ALL NIGHT READING IT IF I START NOW SO I'M GONNA START TOMORROW, SCHOOL NIGHT!


message 73: by Hugh (new)

Hugh Howey (hughhowey) My wife is listening to this on audible and is LOVING it.

(I joined, btw, because I thought this was a group FOR hot guys, not a group for people who love hot guys. But I think I'll stick around, anyway!)

LOOL, that's funny :)




message 75: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Lol, ok

I'm on page 133, I think but I haven't read in awhile because I'm sick so I have no brain energy to read.


message 76: by Courtney (new)

Courtney be careful with spoilers please, just write like *SPOILERS ALERT* before you say anything too revealing


message 77: by Courtney (new)

Courtney yes well now I know both her and Peeta are coming out of book 2 alive. It doesn't matter though, I just finished the book anyways. It was so amazing! When does book 3 come out? Or don't they even have a date yet?


message 78: by Courtney (new)

Courtney ***Spoiler Alert***


well yeah I assumed she would make it out but before i read your comment I was counting on Peeta's death. Glad he didn't die though, I was worried. But how could they spit him and Katniss up like that? HE;s for sure being tortured. And Gale just showing up on the hovercraft to tell her about Prim and 12, WOW.

I can't wait for book 3! I need it now!


message 79: by ♥Cassie♥ (last edited Sep 15, 2009 02:15PM) (new)

♥Cassie♥ Me too i was so mad when i read that Peeta got captured by the capitol.I CAN'T wait for the third book


message 80: by Courtney (new)

Courtney I well we know they toke him, but I said that I beat that he's being tortured.


message 81: by ♥Cassie♥ (new)

♥Cassie♥ Yeah they probably are


message 82: by Kat (new)

Kat (acharb11ymailcom) | 70 comments Hunger Games is my favourite book! Catching Fire was amazing..I finished it the day I bought it!

To me the choice between Peeta and Gale couldn't be easier....I am a HUGE Gale fan.


message 83: by Courtney (new)

Courtney REally? Huh, you don't see many of those. In fact the only reason Corinne voted for Gale on that poll was to go against everyone else, she hasn't even read these books.

I love Gale too, he so hot and strong. But Peeta is so sweet and also hot. I just cannot pick!


message 84: by Kat (new)

Kat (acharb11ymailcom) | 70 comments You see...I'm more into the outdoorsy types..and Gales seemed pretty hardcore outdoosey to me. Peeta's just a baker/city boy. LOL


message 85: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Yeah, well I'm not outdoorsey and if the book toke place in modern day I'd probably hate him since he's a hunter.

But since it's in the future...

HE's super hot, and because he's a hunter it makes him hotter. But I still like Peeta too :)


message 86: by ♥Cassie♥ (new)

♥Cassie♥ I Can't decide who I like better


message 87: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Yeah, I like him in Catching Fire


message 88: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Did everyone love Catching Fire? I did. So what do you want to happen in the next one?


message 89: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Totally, I want them find find Peeta first. lol, I'm worried about him. Plus I hope Cina isn't dead.


message 90: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Does anyone know the name of the next book in this series or when it's coming out?


message 91: by Mackenzie (last edited Nov 21, 2009 04:20PM) (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) Uhm, supposedly there's a movie being made that will come out in 2011 some time. And also the third book's title hasn't been released yet.. but it's supposed to come out fall of next year (2010).


message 92: by Courtney (new)

Courtney oh, really? How are they gonna make it a movie? First of all, the book is told from Katniss who is alone for a lot of the Games so if they show her, then we'll have no clue what's happening. And when she's pretending to be in love with Peeta we won't know she pretending because she doesn't say that outloud. We'll have to be able to hear her thoughts for this to work.




message 93: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) Yeah, I don't know.. I read it on The Hunger Games website, I think, that they just got a license or whatever to make it a movie.. and that they'd just put it in production. It's true though, I have no idea how they're going to pull this off.. lol


message 94: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Lol, totally. It's gonna be a hard one. I personaly think that Hollywood has a writer block so is looking to popular author's books for scrips. It seems they just can't let books be just books anymore.


message 95: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) LOL, I know eh!! I think they should stop turning books into movies, as I feel the books are always better anyways. It sucks though, cause they spend so much money on making a film based on a book, and I just find it annoying lol, they should make their own creations not use someone else's.


message 96: by Courtney (new)

Courtney I totally agreee!


message 97: by Catherine (new)

Catherine | 476 comments I've finally read the Hunger Games and I really liked it! I was put off reading it at first because I read the blurb and I thought the author completely ripped the idea off of a Japanese film I saw a few years ago, but I'm glad I read it because it was really good. I've started Catching Fire and it's just as good as the first book. I really want Katniss to be with Peeta, he's so lovely!


message 98: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) lol, i like peeta too, so far.. i've only read the first book though. (:


message 99: by Courtney (new)

Courtney The first book really makes you want her to be with Peeta but Book 2 gives you a better look at Gale, who I also like. I just can't choose with them which is odd for me becasue usually I know immediatly which team I'm on.


message 100: by Mackenzie (new)

Mackenzie RM (mackenzierm) Oh okay, lol. Well, I really want to read the second book.. I just need to find a copy when I get the chance.. my friend offered to lend it to me though, so hopefully in the near future I'll be able to read it !:)
